Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given the following edges and their weights: (A-B, 3), (B-C, 5), (C-D, 2), (A-D, 4), and (B-D, 8), use Kruskal's algorithm to find the minimum spanning tree. Explain your steps.

💡 Hint: What should you do first with the weights?

Question 2

Illustrate how the union-find operations can affect the efficiency of Kruskal's algorithm in a large graph with many disjoint components.

💡 Hint: Consider how this structure changes the tracking of added edges.
